After studying fermentation in agricultural communities around the world, we found ourselves running a gorgeous organic farm in Northern California. This is where we began developing bioreactors to grow cells and nutrients.

It was fascinating to work with biology and computing at such an advanced level. More suprisingly though, it was a deeply meaningful and moving experience to work so closely with the cycle of life. After that, we knew we wanted to dedicate ourselves to this work.
